DATE OF ORIGINAL COVER - SEE TITLE Vogue is an American monthly fashion and lifestyle magazine covering many topics including fashion, beauty, culture, living, and runway based in New York City. Vogue began as a weekly newspaper, first published based in New York City in 1892 in the United States, before becoming a monthly publication years later.It was not until July 1932 that the first color photograph, by Edward Steichen, appeared on a cover of Vogue (1959 was the first year all of the magazine’s covers were photographic). Before then, illustration ART were used in full, or part for all covers. Most of these charming “storytelling pictures” were created by leading fashion illustrators of the day and thus have become highly collectible as, in a sense, they become limited edition art prints. Survival rate being so low (what with periodic paper drives and the throwaway society) that few pre-war (WWII) issues are available today... When framed these artistic cover illustrations command attention and aclaim.... Start your collection today and get in on the fun ! THE COLLECTING OF MAGAZINE COVER ART IS INTRIGUING IN THE SENSE OF "THE FIND" AND ALSO "THE BRAG"...
